Some of the members of the grand iury
are disposed to kick because some of the
newspapers printed so much what they are
pleased to term monkey guess-work." II
these members of the grand jury had not
left so many slips OF paper containing I'm.
portant information lying around the jury
room, when they went out, the reporters
would have been Obliged to guess at what
had been done. As 1t was, they read it from
these slips of paper
"Where are you going, my pretty maid?''
Down to tie carnival, sir' she said
MAY go with you, my pretty maid?''
I'll you pay my expenses, SIR" she said.
The man who attempts to make a living by
talking of the Jealousy of the Twin Cities and
their bitterness Of feeling, should last even
ing have visited any one of the three depoJs,
looked at the thousands crowding the trains
Tor ST. Paul. and then jumped over the falls
The Chicago Tribune is jumping upon Gen.
WaShburn with both feet, but all uncon-
scious, the gentle William is down Mt Wash
ington, pulling congress about. He has Just
fixed the senate on the Sault bridge and the
mouse on the appropriation for the Mime

There are two individuals. at least, in Min
neapohs who are evidently trying to force
spring. One is the individual who Sauntered
down Washington avenue last evening wear
ing straw hat, and the other is the man with
hand organ. The man wearing the straw
hat stopped when he came to the hand-organ
manipulation on the corner, gazed at him a
moment, and then murrured: Two of a
kind
Col. King returned yesterday from the
East, and Thomas Lowry sets sail from
Europe to-day. These timely arrivals will
serve to keep the city from tipping, even if
California entlces away a few more heavy
weights.
None of the saloonkeepers who have been
indicted for second time by the present
grand jury have evinced thus far DISPOSE
ton to plead guilty to the charge of keep
ing open on Sunday; to use a popular express
sion, they wish to try it on a dog first.
''Woodchuck time is approaching and it
will be good policy for citizens to read the re-
ports OF the dongs of The legislature care
fully. 1t does not seem altogether unlikely
that one of these fine mornings Minneapolis
will wake up to find the very men whose
schemes were upset at election occupying the
very offices for which they were defeated, all
through the fundamentally of some special
commission bill.
1t is quite evident that four judges will not

The overflow of visitors from the St. Paul
ice carnival, together with the increa sing
number of strangers, has crowded the hotels
to their fullest capacity. Three hundred peo-
pie applied to the West hotel alone, Yesterday
morning, for accommodations.
The assertion of the Tribune that the meet
ing held Wednesday evening in the Seventh
ward declared in favor of local option as a
substitute for the patrol limits, is denied by
several who were present. The patrol limit
was denounced, but neither prohibition nor
local option was indorsed. Neither was the
sentiment of the meeting in favor of a police
commission, as stated. On the contrary, all
special commissions for the purpose of
taking possession of the several departments
Of the government were strongly op POSED.
Seldom is it that Minneapolis is So quiet nd
deserted as it was last night. The main
thoroughfares were dreary and silent, and
the crowds that usually make them gay we're
adding to the clamor and revelry of the
carnival at St. Paul. They had gone by thou
sands. All that the several railroad COM
panies could do in the way of extra prepara-
tions, failed to readily meet the demand, as
Minneapolis poured steadily into st. Paul.
For three hours the tide set down the river,
and then came lull Of two hours, and then
the returning throng. This is a sample of
the hostility Minneapolis feels toward St.
Paul.
